the fire fighters charity (crn: 1093387)
The Fire Fighters Charity offers specialist, lifelong support for members of the UK fire services community, empowering individuals to achieve mental, physical and social wellbeing throughout their lives.
This charity holds a dear place in our Founder Jonny's heart as they supported his grandfather, William Wood, when he was alive through their recuperation facilities located in Little Hampton. We speak to serving and retired firefighters daily and they each have a wonderful story of how The Fire Fighters Charity have supported them and their families.
We are very proud to have donated over £25,000 to the charity and have big aspirations to increase this sum in the future.

tunnel to towers foundation (ein: 02-0554654)
Firefighter Stephen Gerard Siller was the youngest of seven children born to Mae and George Siller. At the age of eight, Stephen lost his father, and a year and a half later his mother passed away, leaving him an orphan to be raised by his older siblings. He grew up to be an extraordinary individual and dedicated firefighter.
On September 11, 2001, Stephen, who was assigned to Brooklyn’s Squad 1, had just finished his shift and was on his way to play golf with his brothers when he got word over his scanner of a plane hitting the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Upon hearing the news, Stephen called his wife Sally and asked her to tell his brothers he would catch up with them later. He returned to Squad 1 to get his gear.
Stephen drove his truck to the entrance of the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, but it had already been closed for security purposes. Determined to carry out his duty, he strapped 60 lbs. of gear to his back, and raced on foot through the tunnel to the Twin Towers, where he gave up his life while saving others.
We created a one of a kind 9/11 Triumph Heat Watch that was auctioned off in support of the 20 year anniversary of 9/11. The watch sold for $19,000, a remarkable achievement.We also produced a line of 100 T2T Commemorative Watches for all Foundation donors. These watches all sold out and we donated $10,000 to the Foundation from the sales.
In total we donated $29,000 to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.

bushfire relief fund
Bushfires ravaged the Australian continent from September 2019 well into the new year. Millions of families were affected, as well as countless indigenous wildlife.
In January 2020 we joined the Watch & Act Auction hosted by Time + Tide Watches in Melbourne. We were 1 of 20 luxury watch brands who united and donated a watch to auction off with all proceeds supporting the Australian bushfires. The auction raised over $150,000 and we were delighted to have the opportunity to make a contribution to this tragic event.
In total we donated $5,000 from our watches sale to the Australian Bushfire Relief Fund.
